Admittedly: We’re already animal fans at China.Table. But there’s just too beautiful a story about this Shiba Inu to not elevate it to „dessert“. The dog was recently auctioned off for the equivalent of $25,000. That’s because Deng Deng, as he is known, is an internet celebrity in China. In 2014, he was abandoned by his owner at an animal school, according to media reports. Back in 2018, Deng Deng was put up for auction – but the owner, who had been missing until then, came forward and prevented the auction from taking place. However, according to the report, he did not pay off his debt to the animal school, so the Shiba Inu was offered for auction again. After the competent court had made the auction of the dog public, the enthusiasm on Weibo and Wechat now knew no bounds – and Internet star Deng Deng now has a new home with a much offering dog lover.
